Guys,
Some of you may remember my posts from September and from last fall of the bucks I have hanging around in my backyard. Here is a little taste of what I've seen in the past few weeks.
I was actually face to face with this buck this morning. After I shot the video, I decided to go out after him. what I didn't know was he and the doe doubled back and bedded down. When I walked by him, he stood up and looked at me like 'Now what are you going to do.'So I kept walking and acted like I never saw him. I then snuck down the field line and came up and therehe is, 20 yards away staring at me. SoI get back down and crawl so that I can come up around the back of him. I slowly stand up and therehe is again, starting me down. At this point I had to laugh.He had me.
So a fewhours later, I see him coming again. I bolt out the door and get set up. Figuring he will chase the doethe same way thru the field as she went. Needless to say, he didn't. Instead, he shows up 10 yards to my left in the same pines I am standing. We stared for what seemed like forever, before he got smart andran down over the hill.
He is a really odd buck. He is missing his back leg and that is why the antlers look as they do.
Just wanted to add a few more pictures. Total of 12 different bucks this year.
These 2 were out 11/18
this guy was chasing the little 4 above.

Here is how I first saw him....
